Utah Makes Good on Gift:
We reported earlier that UTAH local and state officials had offered to buy some equipment for Utah military facilities—they delivered. The Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill AFB, Utah, has received $4.4 million worth of equipment out of a $5 million donation, raised predominantly by the Utah Defense Alliance. The money for Hill bought four lathes for the 309th Maintenance Wing.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
